How do I write a clear submittal in construction?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start with the project requirements. Include all relevant specs and drawings. Be concise and specific about what you're submitting. Add any necessary documentation and make sure it's easy to read. Double-check for accuracy before sending it out.
Key points
- Follow project specs closely.
- Keep it clear and to the point.
- Attach supporting documents.
- Check for errors before submission.
A clear submittal makes it easier for the super and the principal to approve what you need. If you miss details or make it too complicated, it can slow things down. Always refer back to the contract and drawings to stay on track.
